Tagged: is patience a virtue

As of writing this, I’m still waiting on this kiddo to show up. I’m not exactly a patient person to begin with, but having to deal with the anticipation of actually holding and interacting with my kiddo in person (instead of in belly) and the desperate desire to have my body back to myself is really putting me to the test. And so, for this week’s round-up, I’m going to grudgingly focus on patience.

Product of the Week

Back during the ratatouille phase, I was struggling with where I was in life versus where I wanted to be. The book “You Are Here” by Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh really helped me learn to recenter myself by getting back to acknowledging and appreciating the present moment. It’s a great read with very practical advice no matter what your spiritual inclinations.

Laugh of the Week
